Clean out your HR files with confidence!

One simple HR paperwork mistake can cost you big.
Maintaining personnel records used to be a lot simpler. Any HR department that wanted to be "safe" relied on a "keep everything" policy. Today that approach could violate the rules on the "reasonable disposal of sensitive documents."

But if the wrong document is destroyed, it could result in big fines and penalties. It could even mean willful destruction of evidence and a lost lawsuit.

Then there's not creating records in the first place. Many laws require creating records. And sometimes it's just good policy to document everything from job applications to interview notes and disciplinary records - just in case - and then know when to toss them.

Discover how to toss all that HR paperwork clutter but keep lawsuit-proof "armor" when it comes to personnel records. This engaging, entertaining webinar will explain HR recordkeeping requirements under federal, state and local laws and regulations, including when regulators want to see COVID-related records.

Don't fall victim to a simple mistake that could have been easily avoided! Remember, in employee legal disputes, the winning side often has the best-documented case.
